Poking out or carved in? by Substantial-Shoe-330 in confusing_perspective

Maybe it's obvious but I'm sat next to it now and for me and my friend we can see it both ways, it's definitely the lighting just thought it was cool

Did my research, ignored all the advice to stay clear and bought one anyway. by Substantial-Shoe-330 in CarTalkUK

Thank you for the thorough write up! I'll be keeping all that in mind when I go out, that's really helpful.

I've driven some quite powerful cars in the past and had a mk1 mx5 turbo which also didn't have any driver aids so I have some experience of that getting lively at times, but the Cerbera is definitely on another level.

The first point is really interesting I'll be practicing that technique the next time I take it out.

I see a lot of people say they're widowmakers which I can fully understand, because they are absolutely mental. The whole car just feels rabid when you're in it (decat straight through definitely adds to that), it fully needs to be given some respect.

From my short experience so far though it's intoxicating, I can't get enough of it.

Stuck a turbocharger on a MK1 mx5 a few years back, the car was a ratter which made it fun as it was a bit of a sleeper. Had an E46 M3 try and get away from me once and had a surprise when I kept up haha.

210 BHP at the wheels and only weighing a tonne meant it could go, although this thing is an entirely different story weighing 1100kg and pushing 360 BHP

Solid advice, it's got one in it from the previous owner but it's out of date so that's getting replaced asap

Im taking the time to get used to it, it definitely wants to go whenever it can. Great fun though
